All my friends, all the actors that I knew, were going in on this movie.

Of course, I would have done anything in that movie, its Scorsese.
[The hardest part] was being on the cross.
We were based in Marrakech a lot of the time, but we would go out to the countryside.

He had a great director of photography in the late Michael Ballhaus.
And the atmosphere was that there were no trailers I would arrive and Id simply put on my clothes.
There was minimal makeup and we were out in the weather, you know?
There was no place to hang out or wait.
Thats my memory of it.
It was a moment that they exploited to make a political move.

This was the strongest reaction to any film that Ive been in, that I can think of.
Theyre not judged solely on the content, theres nothing objective.
Some people tried to exploit its extremeness to attempt to make news.
